Description
Introduction
4D printing is an amalgamation of 3D printing with smart material and a software program. A 3D printer is given with two inputs, i.e., a program that conveys directions to frame and the smart material. The 3D printer at that point installs a program to smart material in printing stage. This keen material, when presented with external stimuli, for example, water, warm, weight, vitality, etc., respond as per the program implanted in it. The 4D printing innovation enables clients to print objects that reshape themselves or self-amass after some time, by printing smart materials from a 3D printer. And also 4D printing would help to maintain a sustainable environment with less wastage of natural resources.
End-user/Technology
The top users of this technology are mostly from military & defense, textile, healthcare, aerospace & automotive industries.
Market Dynamics
Global 4D Printing Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 42.95% for the next decade. There remains enormous potential to the technology in future, starting from furniture and even structures that can self-collect and reassemble for various capacities to aviation.
